So we get 1 strike 1 raid, 3 story missions and 3 multiplayer maps. That was cut from the game and we are paying $20.00 more for this? This was already finished prior to launch, the way you treat your community, your loyal fans is disgusting. This should of already been included in the game.
Bump if you agree.

Honestly you cant be surprised all the companies are doing it now for example the borderlands presequel is selling their dlcs before you can preorder the game and people are paying thousand of dollars for a raffle for a ship in star citizen that hasn't been released yet so at this point it's just common buisiness practice

So true my friend...sad but true...ahhh Destiny 300 hours in and still I see no light at the end...only darkness :-( cheers for another 3months of the same bounties, public events, patrols, blue engrams, strikes. Light comes within the Raid, that is our only part to hold tightly on.
-
Well obviously you must love the game to put in that amount of time. So what exactly are you complaining about?
-
Is this shit yo job
-
I would pay 20$ if they fixed disconnects, and useless exotics.

Bump.

Edited by Kurai Ryuu: 10/30/2014 11:37:09 AMMuthafudging BUMP!!!! Ave tae pay and extra £20 for so called "story" missions, a strike and a new raid then a random collection of armor and weapons just tae get tae light lvl 32!?!?! Which you will probably need so you can play the new raid on hard!!! So it's a case of if you don't buy your screwed. This can't be the same Bungie that made Halo can it?!?!?! >.<'. You need tae get out from underneath the thumb of Activision and salvage this game. Bump Bump
-
Seriously. When have you ever seen an expansion drop 2 months after the initial release? Dafuqisthat?! Obviously these greedy -blam!-s chopped the original game up into 3 pieces just to make more money.
-
Isn't the season pass 10.00 more for ps users?
-
But your also getting gear to upgrade your character to light level 32, so its kinda worth it. Thats whats I think!
-
I don't consider gear content, it's an extension of content. Raid gear from the raid for example.

Can I nerf ur comment? This is a industy man. There are companies that put in a lot of money in this game and they didn't do that to please you. Nobody gives a fcuk about the customer as long as we are paying. This case Activision is the evil corp that demanded that the title released in time. Now this game only grossed 350-400 M dollars. To make up for this loss we pay the price. Simple as that. Complaining in threads bout it is just immature or/and stupid. Dude wake the fcuk up!
-
Wake yourself up. Your numbers are all wrong. 350 millions dollars is a blazing succes. Don't forget that the 500 million dollars being pumped in is on a 10 year term. So the revenue they had in one month could easily have been double the [b]initial[/b] investment. With two more releases and at least 5 more expansions still to come that's adding up real quick. Do the real math and you'll quickly realize that's very lucrative. We're talking easily over 50% gross margin and in those kind of 8 figure numbers even for the gaming industry, that's astoundingly high.
-
They will eventually make money on this. No doubt. But this is still a monumental fiasco in the eyes of Sony and Activision. It's not about if you make money, it's about how much money you make compared to how much money you expected to make. Now it's all about to avoid sunk costs. Dude if you put $ 500 M into a game ur investors won't be satisfied with at least to double their money. It's you that don't have the facts right my good sir.
-
Again read the contract. Your numbers are false. They haven't spent a total of 500 million dollars and they won't hit that number for another couple of years. Official Bungie statements and the contract from 2010 that was leaked clearly shows this. As for your revenue number of 350 mill; that too is incorrect seeing that official statements by Activision prove that the game has grossed over 500 million dollars on day [b]one[/b]. http://investor.activision.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=870169 http://www.gamespot.com/articles/destiny-budget-nowhere-near-500-million-bungie-says/1100-6420802/ http://www.polygon.com/2014/6/13/5807752/destiny-500-million-budget-activision-bungie

Destiny sold for $ 325 M the first 5 days ( my bad to leave that out). Cod bo 2 grossed $ 500 M in 24 h. GTA V- $1 B in 3 days. In other words: FIASCO. Activision stock market has gone down 17% in 1 month. How is this a success? People panicked and sold their shares when destiny didn't sell as much as they anticipated. 76 on metacritic is also a big fail and perhaps this will result that we will never see destiny 2 and 3. But that's just me speculating. But what I really want to say is that people hate on bungie when it's really not their fault. It's the investors fault that we have to buy the expansions that were initially supposed to be included in the game. You know that Michael Patcher, lead writer jumped if this project, when Activision decided they wanted to make more money. U know what we got instead of story? Grimoir cards. The game was not finished on deadline so they took away half the game just to sell it to us in DLCs. You know this right? Don't get me wrong, i love this game. But only the future can show us if it ever gonna be what it could be.

OK, I finally get where you're coming from and I absolutely agree on the bigger part of your arguments. Especially considering the huge pressure and skyhigh expectations certain parties had for this franchise. But I refuse to believe Destiny as it is, made a nett loss a month after its release. Can you give me a source for the 325 mill? Because if not, I still have the 500 mill gross revenue in the back of my head that Activision themselves mentioned compared to the initial investment that's nowhere near that number. In any case, we don't have to find common ground on the business side. All I gather from our talk is that we both like the game, we like the promise it held, the potential it showed but we dislike the end result and the feeling that the business side interfered too much with the overall gaming experience the most of us had.

Lol ok I'd sell my stock too. But I remain curious as to what their nett result is at the moment.
